This week has been another example of "time". Too much to do and not enough time to do it in.
Long days at my "real" job.
Long nights trying to paint and add to my art collection.
Short nights...not getting enough sleep.
Now that I'm getting older and time is racing by so quickly, I get angry that I can't do everything that I want to do. I rush around to make time to be with friends. I rush around trying to get all of my work done at the office. I push and push my art trying to get as much painting into a 24 hour period as possible. Then my body says "stop" and I've got to get some sleep. I'm too old to keep up this kind of a schedule.
My mind is full of exciting new ideas for art, but I can't seem to find the time to even begin many projects, much less have finished pieces.
Right now, I have one thing that is keeping me going and that is an upcoming break from my routine and a trip to visit a friend. On December 1, I'm going to Pennsylvania to spend a few days with my oldest friend and her family. This will be some well deserved down time for me and I'm really looking forward to the R & R.
